Should we fall back on springing forward?

Some of you might still be feeling more tired than usual. Others will be dreading losing an hour of sleep this weekend. Yes, it’s that funny time of year when our Paris office and New York office are only 5 hours apart instead of 6, as the US springs forward into daylight savings time ahead of Europe.

But some people aren’t sure changing the clocks is doing much for our collective wellness. Do we really need the extra hour of fun in the sun in 2022? The debate rages on—is changing the clocks twice a year really living up to expectations? Or is it time to consider parting ways with this outdated practice?  

This debate started us thinking about other ingrained habits, and how we can improve our performance at work. Coaching is one way to start stepping it up at an individual level, and why not consider leadership training at the organizational level? It can be hard to shake a habit, but with the right support, growth is always possible.

The daylight savings question is more divisive than ever, with each camp—brighter mornings or sunnier afternoons—trying to sell their argument to the other side. Something we can all agree on? There’s nothing more timely than a fresh batch of new resources on employee coaching, wellness, training, and much more.
